    Nzou's story : She was an orphan in the 1970's and they had no elephants in the sanctuary. She was surprisingly adopted by a herd of buffalo the did have. Since that time she has become the herd's leader and protector. There is now an elephant herd in the sanctuary and though they try to interact with her she wants nothing to do with them. She is happy with her buffalo family, and loves to lead and protect them. The youngsters in the herd are 5th generation! So you could say she was also a very GREAT grandmother.

      in the doc, they say that she hasnt seen another elephant in 15 years. I was going to say, this is a great set up, but i wonder if it would be best for her if she was with other elephants. If its true there is another heard on the reserve and she wasnt interested in interacting with them. Then for sure i would leave her there. That still seems like a crapy set up for those bulls though.

    Fun Facts:
    Elephants and buffalos are among two large mammals on land who had great memory/high intelligence by remembering even a dark past that affected them emotionally (i.g: for losing their close members of the herd) as they will never forget something that damages their lives and as a matter of fact, both animals have proven to be great to amazing parents at best regarding their parental care to their young as they are the best mothers in the natural world.
    And the moral of the story: Both of them will never forget something!

I think we know why the younger buffalo don't like her as much as the older ones. I wonder if it bothers her that the calves are not recognizing her as the leader rather than their mother or perhaps it's only the male calves being killed.

    According to the Imire Black Rhino and Wildlife Conservation area, they did try putting Nzou with other elephants. (I don't know why this documentary said that she'd never seen another elephant; maybe they suspect the game reserve lied about it?) It's not as simple as just dropping Nzou off at an elephant sanctuary, though. The Wildlife Conservation area said they attempted several times to encourage Nzou to become part of their elephant herd, but she would not respond to the other elephants in Imire at all, likely because she no longer understood what they were saying. She is content with the buffalo herd and, as long as they accept her as a leader, she is happy to be their matriarch. Obviously the situation isn't ideal for Nzou or the herd, but I'm not sure there is a better option for her after decades with her buffalo family. Like they mentioned in the doc, allowing her to become pregnant could also be fatal; she's never learned how elephants mate, gestate, or raise a calf.

    *She'd blend best with her own kind, a herd of elephants. They'd likely stop all that aggression she displays towards any buffalo but the female. A herd of elephants would never tolerate that behavior unless she was their matriarch and that's not likely. I hope one day she does get to go be with her own kind, it hurts my heart that she's not with em now. The idea that she may not know she's an elephant would go out the window immediately if she ever we're to meet just one other elephant. Aww what i wouldn't give to witness that❤️😲

      I think the narrator said something about how it's their leader and protector and it's too late to separate them. But it's nagging me that this herd doesn't need protection in this protected ranch, and if they got rid of the elephant an older female buffalo or the bulls being penned up now could join them and lead the herd around just as well. I would hope it's still possible to have the elephant adopted by it's own kind and have a better life. This arrangement doesn't seem to add up as being the only way to go forward...

      1.) She protects the man in charge of the buffalo from the buffalo themselves, very dangerous animals. He needs to be there as well because poachers have snuck onto ranches like these before.
      2.) Nzou has no social skills, most of the behaviors elephants express are learned behaviors, especially when it comes to socializing. She also would probably not be able to communicate, as elephants have their own language which is used very similarly to ours.
      3.) They're doing fine as is.

      Especially when I notice being chained up, the elephant is to suit their purposes and their needs, who knows that maybe the reason why they have the elephant in the first place. It's said time and again Nzou is to important. This situation is totally business, it's nothing like being taken in giving a animal a home and allowing that animal if it chooses to live amongst its own kind. They do not have Nzou best interests. Keeping her from her kind is not good for her, I have a feeling Nzou's life will end when there's no need for her anymore. I hope not.

    My uneducated opinion as to why the elephant sometimes kills calves is that she knows she herself is the leader and yet she has no progeny, and I think there is something in her that senses in a very vague way that it's wrong for the others of the herd to be able to calf before/and more often than herself, and I believe that how she interprets the "wrongness" of that is the catalyst for her instinct to destroy them on occasion. I think if she were allowed to have a baby it would stop. I think she is just trying to interpret and correct what she cannot help but feel is disorder.

She has her herd and it appears that all have adapted so that the farmer, the elephant, the buffalo and surrounding community benefit from this sad but kind of necessary situation.

    This elephant has her duties as a protector and leader , but it's sad how she doesn't know her own kind and kill young Buffaloes . She should have been able to have her own babies from start that way things wouldn't seem so serious. Maybe she would have known what smaller slower animals are like. Maybe she really doesn't know how to show affection to smaller young cause she's​ never had her own experience. Although I could be wrong because mother's do sometimes kill their young due to accidents or problems.

    • @MistaMaine.
      @MistaMaine. 7 лет назад +3

      Alex Bimmy, You could be right.....But on the other hand, what could cause her to be unhappy tho?? Because​ she's never had a calf so she can't be unhappy of loosing one, and the guy who she is protecting shows her love, and what do the bulls do for her to kill them too?? cause they well never be half of her size nor weigh as much as she. So what could cause this elephant to be unhappy?? It couldn't be that she lost her mother at a young calf..... cause if that's​ so, then are elephants that good​??

      there are other elephants in the park now, they have tried to approach her too, but Nzou won't have anything to do with them. After several failed attempts over the years to encourage her to become part of an elephant herd, conservancy managers decided to let her stay with the buffalo. Its her choice, they can't force her to be social with other elephants or make her join a herd, and there are other elephant herds around she is free to join anytime if she wanted to, she has made it clear in previous attempts she doesn't, whether its ideal or not -she sees the buffalo as her herd and family now, and that's it.

    This section is full of a-holes complaining, despite them being loved and cared for. Orphan elephants usually die and don’t survive in the wild without a tribe. This man saved her and she is in charge of the herd. A commercial herd and tourism is how conservation is funded and some of you are so judgemental despite being ill informed. This outrage over happy and well cared for animals is ridiculous. It’s not ideal but in an ideal world, she would never have been orphaned.

    Also, water buffalo are awesome, an elephant running the crew is actually a shitty thing for a buffalo group imo. Reason being, elephants live a long time and I guess dont relinquish leadership easily. Buffalo? Well they have the best system in nature imo. Big badassiest buffalo looks after the herd, takes watch, guides them to feeding grounds, deters predators, watches whilest they sleep and when they get tired? Nope they dont get torn to pieces by a younger competitor (learn something lions), the badass wanders off for the fecking holiday. That's right. They go on holiday. They wander off alone, scaring off entire prides of lions from watering holes to have a swim and a drink and chillax until they decide goddam when they are bored of it, and then, only then, do they just slowly mosey on back to the herd, and guess what, just join right back in as a normal buffalo under the new leader until they break and decide to take a holiday. People say nature is cruel, and 99% of time it is, but the buffalo, man they got this shit figured out way better than we do.
